Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the pasta.
- When boiling, add the pasta to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot (off the heat).
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium heat (no oil). Once hot, dry-fry the pine nuts until toasted, 2-3 mins. Once cooked, remove from the pan.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Once hot, cook the mince until browned, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
3
- When the garlic is fragrant, add the stock powder, chopped tomatoes, chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice), ¼ tsp sugar and 100ml water (double both for 4p) to the pan.
- Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Mince is safe to eat when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Add a splash of water to the sauce if it becomes too dry.
4
- Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p) and a pinch of sugar.
- Mix well to combine.
- Just before serving, toss the salad leaves through the dressing.
5
- When everything is ready, add the drained linguine to the sauce in the pan.
- Toss until coated in the sauce and warmed through, 1 min.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Share the beef linguine between your bowls.
- Top with a sprinkling of cheese and a scattering of pine nuts.
- Serve the balsamic salad alongside.
